Every four years, America’s elections shift the ground beneath us—not just in Washington, but in the airwaves of truth. Freedom turns to censorship, control cracks into chaos, and back again. Right now, in 2025, the pendulum’s swung against the mainstream media—those bloated giants hemorrhaging trust after years of bias and spin.
A 2024 Pew study pegged their credibility at 30%, yet some still swallow their lines, screaming Trump’s “literally Hitler.” Me? I’m not waiting for their comeback. I started We C U Media because I saw the silencing coming—and I felt it myself.
It hit close. Friends on Facebook got locked in “jail” for daring to disagree with the big outlets. My own Twitter account—my old one—got axed for calling someone a dork. Petty? Sure. But it was the trend that woke me up: voices like ours were being snuffed out. So I built We C U Media for them—for us—a scrappy corner where the muted could shout. The ones who cheered me on, who begged for a platform when Big Tech and Big Media choked them? They’re the same ones who’ve left me high and dry.
I’ve poured my soul into this. I write articles—raw, real takes—and hours later, some glossy news org swipes them, no credit, while my inbox sits empty. All I’ve asked from my people is a share, a spark to keep us growing. Crickets. They’ve drifted back to CNN, MSNBC, the easy feed, leaving me to wonder: do people even read anymore? Are they too lazy to think, waiting for truth to beam into their heads? I love this work. It’s my purpose. But passion doesn’t pay the bills, and We C U’s dying without help.
Here’s the brutal math: $1,000 a year keeps us alive—website hosting, electricity, the bare bones. A thousand bucks. That’s it. But prying a penny from anyone’s fist feels impossible. Meanwhile, the pendulum’s ticking. Mainstream media’s got cash—corporate sponsors, ad rivers—and they’ll rise again. Two years, four, one election, and they could drown us. Even X, our messy lifeline, isn’t safe. It censored under Dorsey; it could flip again under new hands or new laws. When that tide turns, independent voices like We C U will be the first to sink—unless we grow now.
I’m not here to beg. I’m here to fight. I built this for the silenced, for the ones Big Media and Big Tech left behind. But I can’t do it alone. If you’re reading this, don’t just nod—act. Share this. Toss a dollar, five, whatever you’ve got. Write with me. Because when the pendulum swings back—and it will—we’ll need every dime, every voice, to keep the lights on. We C U isn’t just my dream; it’s our stand. Don’t let it fade.
